Vanille

by Mona di Orio

Maison Mona di Orio Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Mona di Orio. The fragrance opens with Rum, Petitgrain, Clove, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Leather, Musk, Amber, and Tolu Balsam.

Our verdict on Vanille: Acquired

This is not your average vanilla. Mona di Orio's Vanille is a divisive masterpiece of dry, smoky spice and boozy woods that demands attention, but definitely sniff before you splurge.

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile dominated by warm spices, woods, and amber, this scent is best suited for evenings and special occasions. While some enjoy it in the office, its potency makes it generally inappropriate for everyday professional settings.

About

It kicks off with a spirited blend of bitter orange, sharp petitgrain, and a hefty punch of spiced rum and clove. This isn't a sweet treat; it builds to a complex heart of vetiver, ylang-ylang, and rich guaiac and sandalwood, evolving into a smoky, opulent base of leather, amber, and a dry, unsweetened vanilla pod, rounded by tolu balsam and tonka bean.
